ED summons Mehbooba Mufti on March 15 in money laundering case
SRINAGAR, MAR 05: The Enforcement Directorate has summoned Mehbooba Mufti, former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister and PDP chief, in the money laundering case on Friday.
The agency has called the mufti for questioning before 15 March.
Mufti was released in October last year after being detained by the government for nearly 14 months, since it scrapped special status to Jammu and Kashmir and divided the state into two Union Territories in August 2019.
Earlier, the ED had seized assets worth 11.86 crore of former Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah in the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association money laundering case.
Farooq Abdullah has challenged the order of the Enforcement Directorate in which the agency has seized his residential and commercial property worth about Rs 12 crore in a case of alleged money laundering.
Farooq challenged the ED’s order in the Jammu and Kashmir High Court on Wednesday.
The ED has alleged that Abdullah was the president of the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association from 2001 to 2011 and during this time he ‘misused’ his position and made appointments to the body to rigging the funds sponsored by the Board of Control for Cricket in India. (PTK)
